Many thanks for the information. I'll pass it on to the committee dealing with the commemoration of the battle. They'll be really impressed with your website and the brilliant pictures on Facebook of the re-enactment of King George's accession in 1714.

It makes you think, though. His reign could have been cut very short indeed, if the 1715 battle had gone the other way and the Jacobite rebels had broken out of Preston!

Your right, but the whole Jacobite cause was so mis-managed I'm not sure they could have got their act together!

Anyway, If you can let me know what dates the committee are looking at that would be good. We are in the middle of sorting out the year ahead, and a lot of us are in other re-enactment groups as well, so our year is filling up fast!

The battle was in November but I don't think the committee will want to stage a big outdoor event in the uncertain weather at that time of year, so it would be much earlier than that. I'll get in touch with you when I know something definite. It may all depend on what funds/sponsors we can attract.

Hi Lankylad. I run a living history company and we cover a number of centuries. If you need some Scots accents and highland clansmen in authentic highland attire we can help. We have some match lock and flintlock muskets as well as some uniforms similar to the Queens regiment depicted on your post...Queens Regiment...very nice pictures indeed

We really enjoyed your fascinating demonstrations at the Minster on Saturday; and your presence at the Commemorative Service in the Minster on Sunday added great poignancy to the proceedings. The memorable re-enactment of charging the barricades in the streets was thrilling and very spectacular.

It would be hard to find a more good-natured, patient group of people, with such a ready smile for everyone. You've made lots of friends in the city.
